Pottery Plate mold / Pottery form / Modeling tool / Base guide / Pop shape tools

A HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTION:
Made by me, and with lots of love.
Easily and quickly shape all your plates, bowls, and small dishes with these templates. A wide variety of shapes and sizes are available in the options.

The 0.3mm thick horizontal printing layers create slight lines on the surface of the parts but have no other impact on the functionality, strength, or ergonomics of the products. A simple wipe with a sponge will remove them.

These templates are printed in PLA+ with a filament printer for a very low price and to limit the impact on the environment.
PLA is a biodegradable polymer in industrial composting. A bio-based homopolymer, PLA can be obtained from corn starch, making it the first natural alternative to polyethylene.

You can use these molds with all types of clay, even grogged clay ;]

Your tools are printed to order to guarantee maximum lifespan and to maintain a responsible production policy.

Objects printed with PLA or PLA+ filament are not recommended for baking, chocolate making, or any other food-related use. Filament printing leaves tiny gaps between layers where potentially pathogenic bacteria could accumulate if the filament does not contain an antibacterial material such as copper.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
The video shows you one way to use the mold to shape your pieces. Because the plastic is non-porous, the clay adheres easily, sometimes making demolding difficult. To facilitate demolding, it is recommended to sprinkle cornstarch on the surface of the clay that will be in contact with the mold, or to cover the mold with a thin cloth. The piece will also be easier to demold after it has hardened.

INTERVIEW:
PLA+ resists prolonged immersion in water and temperatures below 50°C.
Be careful when near the oven during baking or when using a heat gun. When PLA exceeds 60°C, it becomes deformable, which can compromise the quality of the finished product.

You can use the same mold with several different clays. Clay particles tend to settle in the small impression grooves, but cleaning with water and a sponge or a soft brush is enough to remove most of them. The resistant particles, on the other hand, are fine enough that they won't risk altering the properties of a different clay if they happen to mix with it.

Not dishwasher safe.

OPTIONS:
In the options, you can choose the size based on the diameter you need. The height, which corresponds to the depth of the cup you can obtain with the mold, varies depending on the selected diameter.
5 to 7 cm in diameter: 2 cm high.
8 to 10 cm in diameter: 3 cm high.
11 to 13 cm in diameter: 4 cm high.
14 to 16 cm in diameter: 5 cm high.
17 to 19 cm in diameter: 6 cm high.
20 to 22 cm in diameter: 7 cm high.

You can also choose to order the mold with or without the handle. A handle is compatible with all shapes and sizes.
